When I get to work with fellow photographers, it is both exciting and nerve wrecking. I was lucky to collaborate with this gorgeous mama, Christine Clements of Christine Marie Photography this week when she agreed to model my new maternity gown for me. We started the session with a few city shots in the new Alpharetta Downtown area, using my new favorite prop – this felt hat.

Then we moved on to the area behind the City Hall where there is a cute little park with men made streams and cute paths. You know her children know what’s up – they were the easiest bunch to photograph! So sweet.

Hope you enjoy these dreamy maternity photos taken in Downtown Alpharetta, and if you are expecting, let’s talk – I would love to create stunning portraits of your growing family for you!

What a gorgeous family maternity session at the garden in Bulloch Hall in Historic Roswell, GA! I met Sam and Chad a couple of years ago when they were expecting their first child, Ezra. That maternity session is to this day one of my most beloved sessions and a very popular one on Pinterest. Baby number two will make her appearance this August, and I can’t wait to meet her (and secretly really want to go back to their house for another lifestyle newborn session!)

For now, maternity:

I got to meet this amazing family a couple of weeks ago at the Garrard Landing Park for a family photo session. We were greeted with amazing light that evening and their adorable girls had such a good time! I was instantly in love with them and we captured such cherished moments together.

The whole session lasted just under an hour and the amount of gorgeous images we managed to get was insane! Hope you enjoy some of the highlights here.

Such a gorgeous maternity session! This winter maternity session in Roswell Mill gave me all the feels! Loved meeting this adorable family on a chilly winter evening and the images we created are so timeless. Simply stunning!

I am speechless sharing this stunning maternity session from October. Simply speechless. Lauren and I go back a few years when we met for the first time in Sweet Apple park in Milton. She has been my hair stylist since then. Unfortunately she recently moved away to South Atlanta, and we don’t see each other as much any more. But I absolutely had to take her maternity photos!

Have you ever been to the Sawnee Mountain Preserve in Cumming? If not, you must go. Its one of those places that will take your breath away. Overlooking the valley its especially amazing in the fall. This was my second time there and I don’t think I would ever get tired of it.

This family session was one of those pinch-me-is-this-real kind of experiences. Simply stunning.

We were blessed with a gorgeous warm evening and an equally stunning sunset. I adore every capture from this session and can’t wait to work with this wonderful family again soon!

Maternity sessions hold a special place in my heart. I often feel like that is what I was meant to do, what my art is about, the soul and connection between two people who created a new life, their bond and excitement over their dream coming true. I love my Atlanta maternity sessions especially in Roswell. This place, Garrard Landing Park, will always be my favorite spot for dreamy backlit maternity photos, no matter how many I do and what season it is. It never fails, it is always a perfect location.

When I spoke to Nancy on the phone about possibly doing her maternity session, I was immediately drawn to her kind voice and easy-going personality, I knew she was a kindred spirit right away! I later found out she was a Fertility Coach & Reiki Practitioner who recently moved from New Jersey to Atlanta, getting closer to her family. Through her wellness coaching practice at gratefullifewellness.com Nancy helps families overcome struggles with fears, side effects and the desperation of searching for that “one thing” that will help them conceive. She provides one of one support for women and families who go are undergoing fertility treatment like IVF.

There is not a doubt in my mind that Nancy and Chris will make wonderful parents. They are a match made in heaven, perfection from head to toe, who are so in love with each other and their baby girl they so longed for, I could feel the love radiate from them during the session. It touched my heart. The beauty and connection I saw unfold in front of me was all real, and after an hour or so we got to spend together, I genuinely felt like I have known them forever.

I am always up for a dreamy, romantic, lighter-than-air, outdoor maternity session. This summer has been amazingly rich in stunning sessions, full of soul and connection, I feel totally blessed and humbled to be photographing all my wonderful mamas this year.

When I met Samantha and Chad, we immediately hit it off and the session felt like “a walk in the park” – fun, easy going and comfortable. We managed to have three changes of outfits. Sam started out in her gorgeous vintage (third generation y’all!) cream jeweled gown that her great grandmother wore for her maternity pictures. Can you believe it? I would have never guessed! It looked so amazing and well kept. We started off in the tall grassy area of the park, in the back, where the sun light was filtering through the tree line just perfect, and eventually worked our way back to the main area and the waterfall. The dusty purple dress is actually one of my newest dresses, it is from lulus.com – and it’s quickly becoming my new favorite dress, maternity or not! Bring on the color! I actually plan on wearing it for my own family photos we are doing at the end of the month. I think Sam wore that dress very well, and the color looked so beautiful on her!

I so enjoyed walking around the park with them, following the light, catching little romantic moments, documenting this wonderful new exciting chapter in their lives. You can tell just how much baby boy is loved already. I can’t wait to meet him in November for some lovely organic lifestyle newborn pictures!

I don’t think I have been more excited to share a family session! This Atlanta family / maternity session is raw, real and unscripted, all the descriptive words I aspire towards. I really wanted to portray this family as they truly are in real life, their bond is unbreakable and their love for each other is palpable, yet they are super goofy and fun and not afraid to get their feet (and dresses) wet a little! Such a fun time! I hope I did them justice.

Maternity sessions are some of my most favorite sessions to shoot and edit. I love capturing the romantic feeling of excitement and connectedness between parents to be, all the love and affection they share, be it their first born or if a sibling or two are involved; the essence of quiet yet eager expectation that shines through a pregnant woman. I strive to shoot and edit my maternity sessions to give them that etherial and airy feel that leaves the viewer refreshed and rested. Most of my maternity sessions are light and bright with a bit of film grain and muted greens.

This particular maternity session took place in Atlanta, where I met the couple at Garrard Landing Park, which was a perfect back drop for the kind of session I had in mind. This mama is one of the prettiest people I have ever met, and also very natural in front of the camera. I love when that happens ha! Both mom and dad are gorgeous, total babes. Our setting along with the light (late afternoon but not the golden hour light) and the wardrobe made this my dream session.

I recently started to really enjoy shooting at earlier times and even in full sun at times, because it works so well with my editing. This session was shot between 5:00 and 6:30pm mostly in open shade areas. Mama wore her own white Lulus dress first, then slipped into my lace kimono for the tall grass shots. I also love the images on the rock ledge over the water, that is such a unique spot, totally man made but so totally cool. I shot this session with my Nikon d7100 and a Sigma art 35mm 1.4 lens.

Reliving this session again, as I type out this story, makes me love it even more. Oh, and their baby was just born, and he is gorgeous. Pure perfection. Can’t wait to meet him.

I can’t get enough of this amazing mama and her maternity session at Garrard Landing park last weekend. Isn’t she just gorgeous?

That corral Pink Blush maternity dress is just stunning on her, love it so much! The white lace kimono is actually by Pink Blush as well, it’s my new go-to for maternity sessions. See more of the maternity kimono pictures here.
